Did you see this story on the new type of diabetes that they've named today? It's really a sub-category of type 2 and many people will be moved from one diagnosis to the other.
Type 2.41 will make it clear to others immediately that the condition is the patient's fault, rather than just guessing as the population is forced to do now. This will make it much easier and more efficient to stereotype and discriminate.
Type 2.41 is characterized by obesity and couch potato tendencies and a ravenous appetite for refined carbohydrates and sugar. It also tends to indicate slovenliness, littering, an unwillingness to vote, owning a car that gets less than 20 MPG, poor personal hygiene and many other modern sins.
Type 2.41 is easily remedied, but we know it won't be as 'these people' are unwilling and uninterested in improving their lot in life. (READ MORE)

I sure enjoyed writing my April Fool's post yesterday. I've always gotten a big kick out of the day but rarely can keep a straight face long enough to pull a prank.
I wanted to be clear that I probably would qualify for type 2.41 if there were such a thing. I was making fun of myself and the media. I sometimes get an attitude from people that I wouldn't have the disease if I'd just suck it up and lose some weight and exercise more. That might just be my own paranoia. But you know what they say - "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you!". (READ MORE)

Saturday night, I raised my evening Lantus dose to 16 units and kept my morning dosage at 13 units. I also moved the evening dose up by about three hours, hoping to stop those highs that sent me into sleep at 218 and 241. I also took the plunge and decided to do a trial run of boluses with the pump instead of pen or syringe. And I'm still as perplexed, but this time for the opposite reason.

 

Within a few hours of bolusing with the pump, I saw a 55 that bounced up to 114, 131, and back down to 93. Several snacks throughout the night left me at a morning number of 130. For most of Sunday, I stayed under 150 with a brief spike after working out. After dinner on Sunday night, I dropped to 84 then 69. And after about an hour, I was 146. But at 4am, I woke to an unexpected 47. I also lowered my evening Lantus to 15 units since I'd seen a rise in lows after the 16 units.

It's my time...to change my habits.

 

Numbers have been consuming my life in the past two weeks. Every time I turn around, a number pops up that leaves me feeling out of sync, exhausted, and completely burnt out. Averages like 241 or even 301 are consuming my logbook. Seeing numbers below 170 are a rare occurrence, with most riding in the upper 200 and 300 range.

 

The other side of the numbers is the insulin levels. I've raised my Lantus to 32 units in the evening now. And from that, I've had my first low in a week (and it was only a 72 after not eating for quite some time). I've also almost doubled my Humalog, which seems to be the biggest deterrent to those pesky 300's that I was seeing so regularly.

Monday morning, 10:15 am: Pick up phone. Dial numbers. Make idle chit-chat with wife before getting to real reason for phone call - what's Charlie's blood sugar?
Tuesday morning, 10:15 am: Pick up phone. Dial numbers. Make idle chit-chat with wife before getting to real reason for phone call - what's Charlie's blood sugar?
Wednesday morning, 10:15 am: Pick up phone. Dial numbers. Make idle chit-chat with wife before getting to real reason for phone call - what's Charlie's blood sugar?
Though tempted to boost my word count even further, I'll stop at Wednesday, knowing that you get the point.
Respond to wife with the following assortment of interchangeable exclamatory interjections:
"Damn!"
"Crap!"
"Great!" (not the good kind, the sarcastic kind)
"Super!" (again, sarcastic)
"Thank God!"
It has gotten just a bit monotonous.
And not just on my end.
10:15 am
Me: Hey
Susanne: Hey
Me: What's up? (READ MORE)

Walking around this morning while getting dressed for work Toohey flopped around on my left hip and Dex was flopping on the right.
 

The Mr. laughed. "You look like a gunslinger," he said.
 

Night one with Dex was good and bad. I clip Toohey to my underwear or pants when I sleep, but I left Dex on the nightstand last night. As I turned my back to the nightstand, though, I wondered if Dex would still be able to pick up the signal from my abdomen. Obviously it would, I thought as I drifted off, otherwise it wouldn't be an effective tool.

I know that I am losing weight. You know it. All of my friends and family know it and it’s because I love to talk about it! I share my weight loss journey whenever and wherever I can.

 

But strangers don’t know. This time of year is filled with open houses, band performances, and other end of the year school stuff. Every time I walk into a room I quickly check to see if I am the “fat guy” in the room. I know it is a horrible habit but for most of life I always was. I still am that guy in many situations.
